Installing Windows and System Driver Packs on Elo "NO OS" Hardware
Audience: Public / Elo Customers, IT Administrators & Integrators
Article Type: Operating System Installation & Driver Setup Guide
Elo hardware models purchased with "NO OS" (No Operating System) are intended for enterprise customers and integrators who possess the technical expertise to deploy custom operating system images and drivers.
💡 Not familiar with manual OS deployment?
- Purchase Elo systems pre-configured with factory-licensed operating systems (e.g., Windows 10 IoT / Windows 11 Pro).
- Consult with your organization’s internal IT department or a certified deployment partner.
- Review Microsoft's official guide on how to install a Windows Operating System.
1. Obtaining an Operating System License & Media
Elo does not sell standalone OS licenses separately from hardware. You must license and create deployment media through official channels:
-
Microsoft Windows (Windows 10 / Windows 11): Obtain a valid Windows license and create bootable USB installation media via Microsoft's Installation Media Creation Tool.
- Linux Distributions: Obtain approved distribution images from official repositories such as Ubuntu Desktop.
2. Installing Elo Driver Packs & Peripherals
After the base Windows installation completes, specialized onboard hardware (touch controller, chipset, audio, graphics, and Ethernet) will require Elo driver packages:
- Visit the Elo Computer Driver Pack Downloads Portal.
- Select your specific Elo hardware model from the dropdown menu and download the complete Driver Pack ZIP corresponding to your Windows version.
- Extract the downloaded ZIP package to a local directory (e.g.,
C:\EloDrivers\). - Open Windows Device Manager (right-click Start > Device Manager) and look for any devices showing missing driver flags (yellow caution icons).
- Right-click each unconfigured device, choose Update driver, point the file browser to your extracted driver directory, and complete the installation.
